Cancer cover is always an important consideration for people who are looking into buying a health insurance policy. Quick diagnosis, treatment in a private hospital and access to revolutionary drugs are all things that private medical insurance can offer. But cancer cover can vary hugely depending on the policy. Whilst the Association of British Insurers has provided guidelines on cancer cover for insurers, it is not compulsory to abide by them and there can be a large disparity between providers. Here is a list of 5 important facts to help you find cancer coverage at a price and level that suits you.
1) Money limits
Cheaper health insurance policies may put monetary limits on the amount that they will pay towards cancer treatment. For example, a basic policy may pay up to a maximum of £30,000 a year towards cancer- this money will have to meet the costs of all drugs, treatments, diagnostic tests etc.
